Master Minds

My husband & I love the show especially Brooke. She is a great host also on the chase. However, when the masterminds are making faces and contemplating answers like they have no clue, it's a little bit much. It seems like it's a script and the ending always seems fixed to us. No one has ever won more than twice. The masterminds always at the end get the better "script". Fixed!

Watching the show, in the final face off. The question posed to Muffy was - Since 1949 Canada has how many provinces? I noticed Muffy counting on her fingers at the point Brooke has only asked"Since 1949". How could Muffy start counting on her fingers at this point??

I started watching to test my knowledge on the various subjects and did pretty good. I had to stop watching because I got tired of the arrogance of the "master minds". Also I grew tired of "master minds" need to explain almost every answer. Stop showing off.

Yes, the show offers high-quality, not-dumbed-down trivia in three rounds. Host Brooke Burns does a good job during the timed round of spitting out the questions rapid-fire (Leah Remini from "People Puzzler" should take some lessons from her) and mostly avoids telling contestants who soil themselves what a great job they did, a common malady among GSN hosts.

The final, head-to-head round really does feel shady, though. So often, it comes down to the final question, and nearly invariably, the Master Mind gets it right and the challenger gets it wrong. Over and over and over.

Oh, and the part at the beginning when one of the Master Minds trash-talks the contestants -- lose that. It's forced and it sucks.

This fast paced trivia contest is one of the best in this genre. Hosted by the beautiful and talented Brooke Burns, the show has three contestants vie against each other while three trivia experts simultaneously compete against each other.

The two highest scoring contestants face off to determine who wins $1,000 and the chance to play against the highest scoring expert. The final competition pits the contestant against the expert for $10,000.

One thing that makes this so watchable is the way they switch up the game play each round. Also, the questions are both challenging and interesting.

The experts are unquestioningly among the best. Any contestant who wins the $10,000 has accomplished something noteworthy.
